    I was wondering if you would have a good book recommendation for a High School Varisty team that helps them understand work ethic and mental toughness. I would like the kids to read the book or at least hear your thoughts on if you have your players read books during the summer.

    My recommendation is for your team to read:

    The Inner Game of Tennis. W. Timothy Gallwey, 1974. Random House: New York, NY. Paperback Edition – Random House: New York, NY, 2008.

    This is the book that I go through with my captain (captains) every year.

    The Team Captain’s Leadership Manual. Jeff Janssen, 2004. Winning the Mental Game: Cary, NC.

    You may want to pick excerpts from one of these two books to give to your team:

    Talent is Never Enough – – Discover the Choices That Will Take You Beyond Your Talent. John C. Maxwell, 2007. Thomas Nelson Publishers: Nashville, TN.
    The Talent Code – Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. Here’s How. Daniel Coyle, 2009. Bantam Dell, division of Random House: New York, NY.

    My suggested readings for you:

    InSideOut Coaching. Joe Ehrmann (with Paula Ehrmann and Gregory Jordan), 2011. Simon & Schuster: New York, NY.

    Play Practice-2nd Edition: Engaging and Developing Skilled Players from Beginner to Elite
    Alan G. Launder, 2013. Human Kinetics Publishers: Champaign, IL. (First Edition, 2001).

    Best wishes,

    Terry
